@ Metroknow – LOL, take that badge down now! Yep I agree too without what Doc said too. Thanks for dropping by.

Count me in with Laurie’s crowd ;)

I am really going to think about this – because my badge has been polished and pinned to my forehead for a few months now. But when you put it in terms of fear, it certainly changes the “feel” of it. I love Dr. Nicole’s comment above – believe it or not, I *instantly* feel a bit of relief just thinking about that sentence. It is so true.

Thanks for the post – I found you through ZenHabits, and I’m really glad I did!

@ Barbara – If we can all just recognise when we’re using the word, that simple observation on it’s own will be a help.

@ Chase – Thanks for the comment

@ Doc NS – Absolutely! If you have any spare zen knocking about can you let me have some please?

Honestly, I have found that I am so much more efficient and effective when I change out of stress mode and in to a state of zen about what I am doing. In the grand scheme of things not much that ANY of us do is worth worrying about.

Great concept! I think most people believe that they need to live with stress. Like it’s the normal way of things these days. Thanks for showing us it shouldn’t be. I really like your anaology.

Hi Tim,

You’re onto something here. The word “stress” has become a “catch all” type of word. By saying “I’m stressed” we may be minimizing what we’re truly feeling, and hence not dealing with it. Hmmmm. That makes a lot of sense.

Great lesson in life. I’m going to start being more aware when I use the word “stressed”.
